Crock-pot Recipes ~ Crock-Pot Ladies’ Pumpkin Risotto

I’ll be the first to admit I am ready for Fall. We aren’t there yet, but once October is here, it will be pumpkin recipe central. For our family, October, November, and December is all about time with family and chalked full of crafts, cooking, baking and sharing in general. In keeping with that theme, I have asked my friends from around the Web to share their favorite recipes. Heidi is a busy Mom like myself she has many crock-pot recipes at Crock-Pot Ladies.

I absolutely love fresh cut flowers and the beauty they bring to a home or office. Usually, that fresh bouquet of flowers is a gift from my husband or a loved one and I want to preserve them for memories sake, to use in a craft or for decorations.
When I receive a fresh bouquet of flowers, I am already planning the first flowers that will be dried or pressed. The bigger thicker flowers I like to dry and the smaller flowers are perfect and more easily pressed.
A day or so after your bouquet arrives, snag the flowers that haven’t reached their full bloom. Some flowers do open more as they dry. How to Dry Flowers:
Probably the easiest way to dry flowers is to hang them. I like to do the following: Divide your bouquet into small groups; buds, roses, babies breath, etc..Put those groups into small bunches.Tie with twine, yarn or string.Hang in a dry cool place.
These dried flowers can be used in wreaths, permanent bouquets, and other beautiful DIY crafts. Here some amazing examples I found …

I must admit, I am not much of a football fan. Okay, okay, I am not much of a sports fan at all. I am a girly girl and frankly, sports on TV make me yawn. I make no excuses, it is what it is.

No matter if we are just chilling out at home and my husband is watching the game or we are invited to something a little more organized like a Super Bowl party. The food is the best part!
